For example, TCP/IP on the IBM® Virtual Machine (VM) operating system might require a password for read and write access to minidisks. Use the ACCT subcommand to supply a password for the minidisk of the current directory. If the remote system is a System i™ product, the ACCT subcommand performs no operation.
